if you're already familiar with the criterion collection, you might know about their rebrand a WHILE back. however, there exists releases in the valley between the laserdiscs and the new branding, which includes out of print releases (like some michael bay movies, believe it or not) that are pretty sick.

i watched this last month which i RENTED and now it is in this month's criterion curated collection. this always happens to me because i can feel the zeitgeist in my blood.
anyway, great movie with AMAZING styling and home set (california architecture at its best!!) and performance from robin w. i learned that originally trent reznor was supposed to do the score -the studios werent ready for that but it would have made the movie even better.
two thumbs up 👍👍

magnolia pi waking life butterfly effect matrix etc. i havent yet seen existenz but its on my list (i watch a total of like 5 movies per year so i will get to it eventually) i really love this era of like philosophical exploration mixed with the aesthetics and mood of the time, so sleek but grungy and serious. i also like how gigantic the themes feel. if you know of any others please comment!! i honestly love anything with a blue or green tint and "trippy" narrative i cant lie

i go to breakfast once a week at our local old-school diner at 6am with him and a whole crew of other characters. he's a retired desert tortoise data collecter (got paid to walk in the rural california drylands all may) and he turned 70 last year. he's one of the only people who will ALWAYS call me out on my shit, and as someone who has trouble reading people, that's pretty nice :)

everyone is talking about activism, but imo the best way to destroy the system is from within. if you live in a small town like me, joining a municipal or county board can be the thing that makes actual change, not just protests. those are good too tho.

wanna really kick it old school? buy some physical media simply based on cover art/general chatter you've heard. helps if you do this at a thrift store so you're not totally screwed over. you can go off internet chatter, but once in a while try to find something completely random. it can be really fun.
